The ultra-veteran Farr Classic Half-Tonner Swuzzlebubble from Crosshaven (James Dwyer, Royal Cork YC) had the turbo boost of Olympian and World Dragon Champion Andy Beadsworth in the cockpit to help continue a string of firsts into the final day of Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta in IRC 2, and a points total of only 9 – less than half that of the scoring by the second-placed Lambay Rules. This was Stephen Quinn’s J/97 from Howth on 19, with clubmate and sister-ship Jeneral Lee (Colin Kavanagh) on third at 23.

Local honour was maintained by Brendan Foley (RStGYC), taking fourth on 25 points with his First Class 8 ALLIG8TR, which confused those who read the “8” as a “B”, but then that’s Show Business.
